In my opinion, yes. Things get deep fast when it comes to the barrel strength picks (they have 10 recipes, and 6 different floors they store on with higher floors typically being higher proof, and each combination of those produces a different profile) but if you can get one for under ~$90 (SRP) then the rest doesn't really matter. On the secondary market they usually start around $120+ and go up to $400+ for the right recipe and proof. I've tried all the recipes a couple times and in general the only thing you could discern between them blind is whether it's high rye ("B" recipes) or low rye ("E" recipes), the rest is all about how that specific single barrel tastes. For comparison, the 100 proof single barrels are all the same recipe (OBSV) and while they come from different floors/tiers, they are all watered down to the same 100 proof
